Slob is a Four Letter Word
I'm not dead.
But I may as well be.
I haven't left the house for 2 days.
I have to write 9000 words by next Monday.
My plan is not to leave the computer 'til then, save a trip to the library.
When I have this much stuff to do & this much stress, I start living hand-to-mouth.
Yesterday I only put on pants because I had to answer the door... for the pizza delivery man.
(N.B. I don't cope well with pressure.)
For your enjoyment, here's a before and after...
How I normally look (all-day, everyday):
>>Note the intense fabulousness and easy grace.
How I look when in study-mode:
>>Note the 1.25 litre bottle of Coke, the Kylie CD, the hovel-like surrounds, the lank hair, the crazed and bloodshot eyes.

Keepittogether, keepittogether, keepittogether. Your setup looks reasonably well-ordered. I'd love to show a picture of my desk and bedroom floor, but I can't find the camera amidst all the junk.
hey alex,
dont worry next monday's not that far away and im sure you'll be all done by then! if it helps i also have no life so you can call me anytime you need a study break or distraction. however, i'm not quite at the non-pants wearing stage.
good luck.
lots of love,
lucy
I so knew you'd have posted a blog entry! Im not impressed missy! You refuse to go the Sexyland with me because you have to work but you're posting fucking blogs?? AGH!
Your hilariously entertaining entry does not make me less mad at you.
P.S.
The Sexyland visit (without you)was extremely traumatic, something I will continue to resent you for.
Svet; I wrote that post in all of ten minutes during yesterday's lunch break, (although I added the photos later in my pre-bed internet reward time). Having a few scheduled breaks during the day (using internet time as a self-motivating bribe), and driving to Fawkner to watch a friend run an errand are really two different things, so you really have no right to be pissed off.
P.S. I'm writing this comment in my pre-bed internet reward time.
P.P.S. What happened at Sexyland?
P.P.P.S Thanks to everyone else for your votes of confidence. I wish I'd read them before I sat on the floor crying and feeling like a failure this afternoon... Le sigh, I'm the biggest wimp.
Despite the fact that it's been years since I've had to write essays, I still wake up sweating in the middle of the night, convinced I have missed multiple due dates and am about to fail.
Education: the nightmare that never ends.
i can sympathise/empathise/whichever one of those is the right one. although i only have 2500 words to go by monday. they just dont bloody write themselves.
did you make that dress in the top photo? i reckons i saw that material at savers. its awesome.
i didnt mean to offend you with the above comment by the way. i dont mean to say that you are cheap and have to make clothes with material from savers. i dont even know you. but its a very cool dress.
Seems like only yesterday you left your mind behind? Yeah, definitely a bad time of year, though both photos are pretty damn awesome.
Hey, only four days to go. I'm sure you'll destroy them. Econometrix is currently less than riveting.
Freakin' Joan Baez stuck in my head now.
(this is Rob btw)
You're still cute!
Good luck with the words
Sarah: I'm not in the least bit offended! I wish I was creative enough to make a dress, but sadly I bought it from that really dodgy curiosity shop on Sydney Rd (the one that used to be where Frau Skill is, but has since moved to a dodgier location down an alley).
Rob: Now we both have Joan Baez in our head. Thanks for that.
Russ: Thanks very much for my playlist. Hopefully the subliminal messages will have a positive effect on my nerves.
Dan: Stop procrastinating!
Martie: Thanks for the vote of confidence.
And, now; it's back to work!
